[agent\_craft] Summarizing agent trajectory loses critical exact identifiers or tool call syntax needed for subsequent steps

Implement a dual-memory compaction strategy: summarize the semantic intent of past steps, but retain a structured 'scratchpad' of exact IDs, variable names, and API responses. Use regex or AST parsing to extract exact literals before summarizing the surrounding text.

Journey Context:
Agents often fail after a compaction step because the LLM summarizes 'I created an S3 bucket named my-bucket' into 'I created an S3 bucket', dropping the exact name. Later steps fail because they lack the literal. Naive string truncation or full summarization both destroy the exactness required for code execution. Extracting literals preserves the precision needed for tooling while saving tokens on the semantic prose.
